Instead, Konami is back to the drawing board on basic stuff, from the sound of it, and that effort is delayed, too. The plans called for cross-platform play, online leagues and “team building mode” (both names still TBA), and a battle pass of content to roll out this fall. eFootball launched with two modes of play: a local single or multiplayer match, using one of only nine teams, and “challenge events” playable against AI or other players online.īut practically no post-launch roadmap could inspire confidence when such meager offerings came strewn with comical visual gaffes and humiliating glitches. The plan was always to release a base game followed by larger, popular gameplay modules, such as the Ultimate-Team style Master League, and the single-player career Be a Legend. Konami skipped a year after publishing eFootball PES 2020 in 2019, then took the franchise free-to-play with Unreal Engine 4 this year.
